This was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't be more grateful! Kim is a funny and kind host who is always making sure you are comfortable (even when there is a spider in your room and you are scared to take it out by yourself😂)! She also explains every task in detail and makes sure the hours are respected which i appreciated. I will definitely be coming back to the home to visit!

It was an incredible first Worldpackers experience! I had the chance to arrive during “Le Festival du Dessin”, which allowed me to truly experience the artistic soul of the home. I would definitely recommend this experience to people interested in art, culture, and creative environments. The accommodation was very comfortable, the working hours were always respected, and the host was lovely, open, and easy to talk to.

This was my first volunteer and I really like it, I learn a lot of new things and she's really kind and tell you what to do and how to do it and if you're not doing it right she tells you, she's sometimes there and do the things together so that was nice, she advice me in a lot of things like visiting towns or cultural things to do so I like that, what really didn't expect it's that the day of my arrival she change the dates so I was really confused and afraid because I have everything plan and i already bought my train ticket so I have to find another place for the days left

Kim is really a warm, friendly and caring person, I can say we connected 😊 The work was very varied, I helped her to clean the B&B and do check-ins, to manage the photo gallery and other some small household tasks. It was mostly indipendent, and it was easy to discuss expectations with her. I was lucky to have a small and nice apartment all for me, which I really enjoyed (but the accomodation may change). I liked the home and I have the chance to visit lots of places in Provence. I would recommend the experience to anyone who wants flexible, independent work and to discover the local culture.

The days the home were very meaningful. I helped Kim renovate the garden and old the home the apartment, and Kim was also very enthusiastic to help and support me. Of course, there are also many interesting activities the home, such as exhibitions, etc.

I absolutely loved my time here the home. Regarding the work, it's easy and the time of work it's respected. Regarding Kim, I am so happy to have met her, we spent a lot of time together outside of work, she made me feel like family!!! Also, the town it's so lively and International, I got to improve not only my English but also my French, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to immerse completely in french culture!!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t complete this experience. During my trip, an accident on the highway and another driver canceling caused a long delay. I informed the host every step of the way. At night, while looking for another car, she told me to come the next morning, so I stayed in a hotel that night. The next day, when I arrived, she didn’t receive me and i was left without accommodationn. I contacted worldpackers for support. I came from far away. I had to figure out where to stay, it was a sad experiencience I hope this feedback helps improve communication and empathy with future volunteers

I had suggested that we meet at 8 PM after I finished work, but I did not receive a response from you. You subsequently canceled the volunteering without informing me. I regret that you do not understand my unavailability during working hours, as I am currently at work.
It’s unfortunate that you decided to leave a negative review before really getting to know your host.

The home is lovely, but I can't recommend this volunteering experience. I arrived in a heatwave, and the mostly physically demanding workload in the Airbnb and art studio felt a bit much in the nearly 40 degree heat. It was hard to discuss expectations with Kim, and I honestly felt a bit used as free labor. Overall the workload did not feel like a fair trade for what you get in return. The apartment also needed repairs, and midweek i was told 4 more (non-volunteer) guests were coming, without enough keys or space for all of us. I left within a week as I didn't feel comfortable staying.

It s my first bad experience after one week she left to see a friend in Lyon she didn't want to work and then blame me. She didn't want to share the appartment with 3 ex other volonteers-guests who love to meet me again unfortunately I had to treat with a lyer. She just see problems everywhere, such a shame!

This was my first world packers experience and I couldn't be happier for it! Kim is a very welcoming host, she was willing to help me with everything I needed. We spent a lot more time together than I expected because it was so fun! I was able to truly immerse myself in the local culture. the home is a vibrant city, you will always have something to do there:)). The work itself is not boring as there are different tasks every day, such as helping with guest hosting, gardening, some renovation work etc.

This was a great experience. It is highly independent, which I enjoyed! I stayed a month in her home the home. the home itself is great plus I easily visited all over the region. Kim gave helpful advice for traveling in the area. She is great! She is always willing to help you with any questions or concerns. The work is simple yet can be physical - I painted, gardened, did some housekeeping and repairs around the house. I would recommend to bring a pair of working clothes you don't mind getting dirty! Kim is great and will help you have a great time the home. Merci beaucoup Kim, I'll miss you!!!
